The scholarship for general category students is Rs 1000 per month, and the beneficiary is exempt from paying tuition fees. At the time of enrollment, 4-year B.Tech. Students are eligible for the scholarship. For the first year, the AIR in the JEE is the measure of merit. The IIT Ropar scholarships are renewed every year until they complete all of the program's academic requirements.

Merit Prizes and Certificates

For the first and second semesters, the IIT Ropar awards merit prizes and certificates to the top 7% of students in each 4-year B.Tech program. The merit reward is worth Rs. 2500. The following are the rules:

• In order of merit, the top 7% of students admitted or sanctioned capacity, whichever is fewer, will be eligible for merit prizes and certificates. If the 7% maximum is surpassed due to many students with the same merit, those students will be eligible for these rewards. Students with an SGPA or CGPA of less than 8.50 would be disqualified from receiving merit prizes and certificates.
• If the departmental strength is less than 7%, the students with the highest CGPA will be granted merit rewards of Rs 2500, subject to a minimum of 8.5.
• All students eligible for merit rewards will receive a prize of Rs.2500. This is in addition to any other scholarships the student may get from any source.
• Each semester, the prize will be granted to the top 7% of students based on their SGPA from the previous semester.
• The prize for first-year students will be granted in the second semester and will be based on their achievement in the first semester.
• There will be a common merit list of all students for first-year students. The merit list will be organised by discipline from the second through the fifth year.
• Any student who has less than 18 earned credits in the semester under consideration is not eligible for merit prizes, except for final semester students. All credits obtained by the student in courses repeated during the semester in question will not be counted against those mentioned above 18 earned credits.
• All graduating students who fall within the 7% restriction will be evaluated for rewards based on their SGPA during the 8th or 10th semester. In the event of a tie, the student with the higher CGPA shall receive the merit reward.
